Santissima Annunziata Maggiore, Naples

The sixteenth-century church on the site of the present church was destroyed by fire in 1757. The reconstruction followed a design by Luigi Vanvitelli, and was completed by his son Carlo. The church as we see it today was consecrated in 1774 and the concave façade added in 1782.

The picture shows the nave.
